Windows 11 Insider Preview 22581.1 ni_release

I have the watermark issue after installing this release it also turns Windows 11 into an evaluation copy with an expiry date and I can no longer move icons in the system tray they are frozen in place.

I have left the Insider program temporarily so this update doesn't cause havoc have never seen this before and have been a member for many years.

      In all the time I have been an insider I have never had this issue whether it is a new build or not the base operating system is fully licensed a new release should not make it into an evaluationabbodi1406

        Evaluation here means a timebomed build, it'd test build not a final build

        I have been told by support that the watermark and frozen Icons in the system tray will be fixed in about a week with a new update definitely don't use the UDW app to remove the watermark as it disables file explorer
